Both will fit comfortably in the back seat. Just don’t recline the driver seat as much.
As for putting one in the front seat - the back seat is the SAFEST place for a child.

Congrats on the 2 little ones!

It will fit, just don’t get the bulky versions of car seats.

I’m not sure what year Jetta you have mine is a 2000 IM 6′1" and I usually put the seat all the way back and if I dont recline the seat that much there is enough room. Dont use the front seat not a good idea. Make sure you follow up on the child restraint retrofit/recall Jetta had . Hope this helps.

you shouldnt have a problem if you keep the passenger seat forward a bit when one of the car seats is on the right side, it’s what i did and i’m 6′ with the same car. i’m sure you’d have enough room in the center for the other car seat.

as for turning off the airbag, you can. you have to find a dealership or repair facility that would be willing to do it. you would have to sign a waver stating that you are aware that disconnecting the air bag could result in serious injury or death. at every dealership i worked for we had forms that said that and more.

good luck and congrats man!!
